I tried to photograph Mrs. Robin in her nest but she wouldn’t have it . So as she was telling me off I was able to get photos of her anyways !
Her nest is in our Cedars at the end of our driveway !
Chippy with full cheeks !
Mr. Dove watching me !
Mr & Mrs Dove out for a stroll !
The Baltimore Oriole is back and strangely enough he seems to prefer the small peanuts to his own feeder of nectar !
He was keeping an eye on me the entire time as I was photographing him !

Sunday we had lots of rain and thunderstorms . April showers bring May flowers , and the birth of hundreds of butterfly’s. They were all over the place when the storms finally stopped and the sun peeked out just a few hours before it was to set !
Some of these photos are from today !
We have a small hill in front of the house were we have some flowers and bushes growing. I had a hard time getting more then one butterfly at a time as they were very busy and fluttering about !
It was awesome as I was taking photos I was being swarmed by these beauty's !
Soaking up the sun in his wings !

The sun set in the west and the moon was out in the east !
I love the orange glow from the sunset on the woods that surround our valley !
It’s hard to see in this smaller photo but when you enlarge it there is a flock of birds just in front of the moon! Looks like little black spots lol !

It’s rare to see these little guys as they stay deep with in the wooded areas that surround our area but you can always hear their call echo through out and on the odd occasion they will have a feast off of our lawn after it has been cut because it some what disturbs the bugs beneath and makes it for easier pickins . They are very skittish birds . These birds live on small ants and bugs . They burrow their beaks in the grass and their long sticky tongue collects their meal they also eat like this from behind the bark of the trees , they find a hole in the bark stick their beak in and use their long tongue to gather the bugs !
They also move very fast as they are eating constantly on the move !
